U.S. Agency for International Development workers were allowed to briefly reenter the headquarters in Washington on Thursday to collect their personal belongings and clear out their desks, a day after President Donald Trump's administration said it was cutting more than 90% of the agency's aid contracts.

Foreign aid organizations asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday to require President Donald Trump's administration to promptly pay them for work they already performed for the government, as a federal judge had ordered.

Foreign aid organizations are in turmoil after the Trump administration cut several million dollars of funding and fired nearly 1,600 employees of the United States Agency for International Development.
